Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good afternoon everyone. When looking back through the last couple of posts I noticed that I had missed a photo from the post with the photos from the Mold II meeting. It came separately from Carolyn & I forgot to add it in to the post.

They have been placed inside poly pockets but I think they show up well even so. The squares are about 1" - 1.5" in size. Sorry about the shine. These two use paper trips. Madeline gave the tip of using the "ribbons" that are often down the sides of A4 die cut sheets. Such as Hunkydory A nice clean & simple sty;e with paper strips. Similar to the first sample. I do like the effect of those little squares in the diamond orientation. I particularly like this one - it uses my favourite colours. This la\st one shows the embossing that was done on the cards. The card is cut to size, the squares applied in required pattern, then run through in an embossing folder. Reall...
